Assertion (A): The binding energy per nucleon is practically constant for mass number in the range ( \(30 \lt {A} \lt 170\) ).
Reason (R): Nuclear forces between the nucleons for mass numbers in the range ( \(30 \lt {A} \lt 170\) ) are not short-range.
- Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
- Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
- A is true but R is false.
- A is false but R is true.
Answer
(C) A is true but R is false.
